She created quite a stink and threatened to file complaints with every government agency around and return the tractor dragging a sign telling everyone what crooks the dealers were. They relented and honored the contract.
I don’t see how in this dealer can enforce an arbitrary change in the agreement especially since they were the ones that drafted it. No court would would side with them and I’m sure they know it. I think hard ball is in order.

It has a three car garage that’s bigger than my house. I think it went for $1.2 million a few years ago but even in this crazy market I’m sure he could swing it.

How did I do on second 4xe?
Price is employee price +$200 so $947 more than Gupton.
Trade on 2020 X3 m40i is $49901 which is a guaranteed amount as long as I don’t put more than 5000 miles extra on it while waiting for 4xe. This was $1600 more than any online offer plus I get sales tax savings on the trade in amount.
Doc fees are $199 vs $499 at Gupton.
I’m happy with the deal. Wasn’t it Terry who said “the difference is the difference “?
$1,000 bucks for a wheel from a NJ outlet? I wonder if it's "OEM" quality? No weight in the specs.
Anyone have experience with curb rash wheel repair recently? Success/cost?

They may actually be carrot peelers
Cost of refurbishing a wheels varies by location. You probably have independent guys in so cal who do it relatively cheap. Otherwise ask a car dealer who they use and when they come to the lot. Drop by that day and get a price.

Excellent condition- no issues. Had a service at bmw dealer at 7200 miles so not due till 17200 miles
So, all in all, a deal that doesn’t hurt anyone involved. $650 more than gupton but probably closer to you, right? And you get to drive there, leave a vehicle, and drive out. Trade value is fair. Should be a $51k auction vehicle. But who knows what it will be in 6-7 weeks when your order arrives.

Mine is pretty close now. Seems like tomorrow should be achievable.

Thanks.
I already put 1k miles on it going to smoky mountains
so I have 4000 more freebie miles to go.
All the online places hit it at 46-47k now so I think it is at least fair-ish given that it will be probably 6 weeks to get the 4xe as you had said. Sales tax savings is almost $3500.
Definitely closer by 2.5 hours one way.
Thanks again

$5000 is already the limit I’d pay. What do you figure it will go for?

I think $7500-$8k is not unreasonable.

But, you're right - it will likely sell for something north of $10K.

I was also thinking $10k+.
Thanks.

You got about $10k more than I did for my X3 which was 2 years older and about 10k more miles. So...seems about right. It does seem if I waited a bit longer I may have been able to squeeze out a little more...but hindsight being 20/20 and all that.

When you want your car repaired you should tell your mechanic what you know about your problem. When a good mechanic knows what you know he’ll be better able to find your problem or at least know what he’ll have to be concentrating on.
When you help him, he’ll be better able to help you with the least amount of trauma and better results.

4 years old any only 800 miles? I’d worry about decay at that point!

I do really like the car though. Just can’t tell what the fan shroud message is. I assume 11/08 is a timing belt change? But what’s -39, miles rolled back?
But looks like it lived on the north shore of LI all its life. So probably not neglected.
Wonder what it is really worth in a normal market?

Considering we leave for vacation early AM and i am far from prepared, not likely to happen!
I did just watch a review on the new frontier. Looks like a huge improvement. Might try one of those too, just to see if it feels too big now.

Now a Ford truck, especially an older work truck, those kinds of buyers are definitely craigslist / thrift store /garage sale kinds of people.
